Drafts, Collaborations and Influences
Aaron Coleman’s commitment to crafting new language to express the complexity and capaciousness of Blackness not only in the United States but across interconnected histories of racial colonialism in the hemispheric Americas and global African Diaspora surfaces within the pages of his drafts. Through his revisions the transformations across both form and content take place. Through his collaborations with contemporary artists and connections to literary forebears the multifaceted nature of his work takes shape.
